12 Highlights of the Caribbean-Transformation Agenda Coordination at and between global, regional and national statistical systems Continue the momentum of the high-level political endorsement and commitment for data-driven decision-making of the Action Plan for Statistics in the Caribbean; and by deepening the integration of the SDG framework in regional and national development priorities, Strengthen the National Statistical Systems (NSS) and enhance the key coordinating and leadership role of the NSOs in the NSS- NSDS implementation Establish new institutional mechanisms and initiatives as well as make use of existing forum/models (such as SCCS/AGS/SCA) for facilitating, monitoring and reporting on the modernization and transformation processes at global, regional and national levels Build collaborative partnerships with data communities, users and other stakeholders to ensure harmonization of methodologies, efficiency gains and the avoidance of duplication
13 Highlights of the Caribbean-Transformation Agenda Innovation and modernization through standard-based statistical business architecture Promote the standardization of production processes aimed at sharing and re-using innovative tools and technologies (interoperability) within and across national and regional statistical systems including adaptations of existing processes for SDG production. Support the development and application of the Common Statistical Production Architecture (CSPA). Promote the establishment of common national/regional data and metadata portals, open standards based web portals and mainstream SDMX and related standards functionality across countries/regionally. Harness the innovative and transformational power of ICT and mobile devices for georeferenced data collection and data visualization. Implement the open data concept and explore practices of cloud computing for official statistics and the dissemination of micro data for research purposes. Implement an interoperable network of national, regional and global platforms of data, services and applications through public-private partnerships making use of key tools (Jamaica-eDacs/survey solutions).
14 Highlights of the Caribbean-Transformation Agenda Capacity building and resource mobilization Identify and coordinate domestic and external resources to strategically address the capacity needs, identify resource gaps and to set priorities. Create opportunities for participation of non-state actors in funding statistical activities through innovative financing mechanisms using means consistent with the FPOS. Implement the recommendations on training incorporated in the Action Plan for Statistics in the Caribbean as endorsed by the 37th HGC including: Training in statistics for staff of the NSOs and NSS; priority in the award of scholarships by Governments/IDPs; enabling the training of statisticians as data scientists to make more effective use of IT and Statistics (issue of centralisation of IT services impacting NSOs). Enable a strategic programme on training and capacity building for successful transformation of NSOs/NSS and which should have a clear and direct link to succession planning. Undertake a gap analysis to determine the skills and competencies that are required to sustain the current and planned programs. Develop closer collaboration with regional universities to enable short-term training in statistics
15 Highlights of the Caribbean-Transformation Agenda Capacity building and resource mobilization Assess the institutional, organizational and technical readiness of national statistical systems to move to the next level of maturity in regards to modernization making use of available assessment tools. Provide recommendations in national strategies (e.g. NSDS) for the transformation and modernization of national statistical systems and prepare national statistical plans to assist countries in their implementations. Complement traditional technical training methods at national, regional and global levels by leveraging existing and establishing new e-learning platforms. Undertake training programs in non-technical areas such as on change management and innovative technology and enable standards for collection, processing and dissemination. Explore opportunities for pooling human resources and information technology within and across national statistical systems including South-South Cooperation and Centres of Excellence in NSOs/Regional Office. Provide special attention to the needs for building up sound and resilient NSSs in SIDS, LDCs, land locked countries and fragile states.
16 Regional Strategy for the Development of Statistics Preparation of RSDS approved at 38 th Meeting of Conference of Heads of Government: As a strategic regional master plan on statistics development prepared and agreed to by CARICOM organisations/countries. To be the overarching strategic framework for the modernisation and innovation thrust; To be responsive to the development / integration agenda Key objective of the RSDS: Provides a framework for ensuring relevant, timely, reliable official statistics are produced within the national statistical systems (NSS) i.e. the National Statistical Office and Other producing agencies.
17 Regional Strategy for the Development of Statistics Phases of CARICOM RSDS Phase 1 Assessment of the CARICOM statistical system Conduct of comprehensive assessment Validation workshop to present results of the assessment and identify key priorities in the region Phase 2 Preparation of the CARICOM RSDS Follow up strategic planning exercises and consultations with member countries on statistical development priorities Preparation of RSDS action plan and costing Endorsement of RSDS in the SCCS for approval Phase 3 Publication and dissemination of RSDS Publication of the RSDS document of advocacy materials Conduct of dissemination and advocacy activities

19 Regional Strategy for the Development of Statistics Vision Suggested Ideas The CARICOM Regional Statistics System is the premier source of high quality, harmonised statistics for the Caribbean Community. A continuous learning "organisation" that strives towards professional excellence and is the premier source of high quality harmonised, official statistics on the Caribbean Community.

23 Regional Strategy for the Development of Statistics Work already in Progress in countries: Trinidad and Tobago Task Force established for restructuring of the CSO and drafting of new legislation; proposed legislation includes the proposal for a semi autonomous body with executive agency status. Grenada is also involved in a process of modernization of its legislation and has engaged a consultant to assist the process. Belize is also engaged in developing its National Statistical System, Barbados has undertaken modernization thrust; Work is also in progress in The Bahamas; Other NSOs have expressed a commitment to the modernization of their legislation and are prepared to take into consideration the CARICOM Model Statistics Bill.
24 Regional Strategy for the Development of Statistics SIDS Challenges Reduced budget to Statistics Increased data gaps Vicious Circle Lack of Investment in Statistics Low Growth, High unemployment, / poverty Policy choices not evidenced based 24
25 Conclusions/Points for Consideration Capacity building in statistics is a complex task and therefore comes with risks These risks/challenges are more severe in countries such as CARICOM SIDs susceptible to natural disasters and external shocks that impact the availability of domestic resources for statistics, approaches from IDPs must be coordinated and relevant; Increasing demand for statistics need to continue the strengthening of survey and administrative sources of information while exploiting the innovations of Big Data, use of Satellite imagery, other innovations must be complementary; Ensuring that Data are in fact treated as the new oil a core asset and is fully incorporated in the development discourse Enabling Environment must be in place Institutional/Organisational/Physical /ICT Infrastructure, Quality Assurance etc. Training/skill set of statisticians/knowledge base CoE attachments use of regional approach
